The person who came to the door was a powerful deacon from the Changqing Clan, who introduced him to a guest from the sect. These were the procedures and etiquette that should be followed. The guest came to the door with a message to invite Yu Ci. Attend the evening banquet lingdiankans
There are more than a dozen names on the post, all of them are guest ministers of the Changqing Sect. At the head of the list is a man named Jiang Shangyan, who is the chief among all the guest ministers, and is also the only monk with a certain status among them. It involves real power, but its status is really high
Jiu Yan, played by Yu Ci, is a taciturn character. Gu Zhi was also worried that he would throw away the face of these people, so he specifically reminded him that this banquet is a convention and only happens once. It is also very important and must be ginseng
This banquet is not just an internal matter of the Changqing Sect, but a guest of the Changqing Sect headed by Jiang Shangyan. In this way, it is considered a kind of ceremony to introduce Jiuyan to his colleagues in Huayan City
Yu Ci knew that these guests should not know about Mr. Mei’s death, otherwise the banquet would have to be postponed for a few days.
Of course he didn’t talk much and agreed casually
About two hours later, the deacon and guest guest who had visited the house came over again, invited him to get on the lizard car, and headed to the banquet together
It is said to be a night banquet, but where is the day and night underground? That is to say, in some areas of Huayan City, the lighting is adjusted according to the movement of the sun, moon and stars. In front of the lizard car, people are showing off lanterns to guide the way. Don't laugh, this is pomp - since it is to be promoted to the whole Huayan City , the bigger the ostentation, the better
It’s because Jiuyan’s reputation is not very prominent in the Northern Wilderness, otherwise it will only become more popular
It took about half an hour before we arrived at our destination, which is the largest garden complex in Huayan City, called "Yinan Garden". I heard that the underground scenery is comparable to the wonders of southern gardens here every day. There are dozens of large-scale banquets held at the same time, and many celebrities in the city love to come here. If you want to promote Jiuyan, this place is naturally the most suitable
When the lizard car arrived, as usual, Jiang Shangyan led all the guests at Changqing Gate to greet them outside the garden. No matter who the guest was, they would be treated like this on their first day here
With a Buxu strong person like Jiang Shangyan taking the lead, this one is undoubtedly the most conspicuous
Jiang Shangyan is quite tall. He wears a brocade robe, a veil, and a crown on his head. He looks rich and noble, but his complexion is slightly darker, and his face rarely changes in expression. He shows a bit of voluptuousness, but he can't wait. When Yu Ci got out of the car, he still took the initiative to step forward, with a slight smile on his face and greeted
"Master of Nine Smokes"
Looking at him, he was not very good at words. Yu Ci also smiled and replied, "Mr. Jiang"
The names were simple and polite. The two then entered the garden arm in arm. Seeing this, someone suddenly laughed secretly. Although the two men had different appearances, one was wearing a crown and the other was bald, they were both long-bodied and dark-skinned. He has an expressionless face, few words, and a dignified expression. At first glance, he looks like he came out of a mother's womb, which is very interesting
This banquet was arranged on a pavilion near a pond. The water in the pond is only about half an acre. There are three pavilions in total. Curving railings surround the pond and the pavilions are connected to each other. There are lanterns floating in the pond, and the petals are light-transmitting. It looks like Quite elegant
More than ten guests were evenly distributed among the three pavilions. Yu Ci and Jiang Shangyan were in the center and took their seats. Since the host and guest were not talkative people, they exchanged a few polite words and the banquet began
At this time, the importance of accompanying guests became apparent. In addition to Jiang and Yu, the other three in the pavilion were all people with easy tongues. Among them was the guest Qing who went to deliver the postcard. His surname was Wu, and his single name was Yong. Although his cultivation was only at the intermediate level of Huandan, he finally looked familiar, and immediately took the initiative to invite him to drink and liven up the atmosphere
Yu Ci pretended to be Jiuyan, but he was clumsy in speech, but not a disgrace, so he responded a few times. Within a moment, the Three Pavilions Waterside Pavilion was full of laughter, and even the faces of the geese on the river were a little relaxed
The other person sitting here, named Cao Jie, is the older one among the guests. Although his cultivation has reached the upper level of Huandan, he has not made any progress over the years. He no longer expects anything else. He only cares about drinking and having fun. For a long time, he was drunk and blinded, so he pulled Yu Ci and said
"Master Jiuyan's skills in making spices are praised by Master Gu. From now on, I will take advantage of you. I can ask Master Jiuyan for everything from curtain incense to pillow incense..." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shangyan frowned in the pavilion, and Wu Yong and others cursed in their hearts. Perhaps most perfumers in the world have attainments in this area and similar businesses, and Beihuang is not taboo about it either. This is the first time we meet and we haven’t figured out our temper yet, so it’s too rash to say this.
Sure enough, Jiuyan glanced at him and responded flatly, "I don't care about unsavory things."
There was a sudden silence in the pavilion, and the smile on Cao Jie's face became a little stiff, but he heard Jiuyan's deep and hoarse voice continue: "Drips of smoke and dew, candles and incense, you may find me and bring your own materials."
With a bang, Cao Jie reached out and hit the table hard, and the plates of wine and food jumped together, and then he laughed loudly, "It turns out that I am also a member of the same group. Come on, come on, come on, you and I will be enlightened."
Yu Ci still looked calm and indifferent, and had a drink with Cao Jie, his expression unchanged‖
Wu Yong sighed secretly and Jiang Shangyan nodded slightly. Although Jiuyan was taciturn, he was not an arrogant and aloof person. He also had scheming intentions. No matter whether Cao Jie made a mistake intentionally or not, he used "drops of smoke dew" , 'candle warm incense' versus 'embroidered curtain incense' and 'pillow incense', although they are both interesting things, the former are luxuries that cannot be exchanged for a million dollars. They suddenly raise the level, and the response is quite appropriate and not unpleasant. Look down on him
Cao Jie here was heartless. He was so drunk that he knocked on his cup and shouted, "I heard that Boss Jiang has specially prepared a team for tonight's dinner. Why haven't they come yet?"
This time his voice was loud, and the Three Pavilions and Waterside Pavilion were quiet for a while, but they were laughing and booing
Jiang Shangyan also curled up the corners of his mouth, conforming to people's hearts and signaling with his eyes. Wu Yong understood and quietly clapped his hands
There was a music troupe playing silk and bamboo music by the pool. A group of beautiful women, wearing red skirts and bare feet, each wearing a curtain and hat to cover their faces, came out of the water, landed on the lantern, and turned around. There is a wonderful dance, and there are people who sing and sing clearly, but it is difficult to find the words. Only the dancing posture and the wonderful sound can move people's hearts
On the Three Pavilions Water Pavilion, there were even people outside watching the excitement. I don’t know how many people had their eyes lit up
At this time, Jiang Shangyan rarely said, "Can the woman on Chishang still be able to catch the eye of the master?"
Yu Ci said, "Not bad"
"Shan, Master Jiuyan is the host and guest tonight, and you can find the one you like...Cao Jie, just keep your eyeballs tied, and the master will pick, and it will be your turn"
Cao Jie laughed, "Isn't this what it should be? I was just thinking about how to discuss the true meaning with the master after the banquet, that's all"
At that moment, in the waterside pavilion, there was an uproar again, and someone laughed strangely and said, "Cao Wujie, your old face like rotten orange peel, I only saw it once, how can Master Jiuyan still have fun? Change the flower." Madam, it’s pretty much the same”
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sweet voice laughing, "Hey, I serve you so sweetly, but I also want to make fun of you?"
